  5. Is anyone else annoyed by the expectations of male nurses in transferring patients?

    Noimanurse replied to WillRegNurse's topic in Men in Nursing

  14. Where should I take the NCLEX?

    Noimanurse replied to swaffy8's topic in General Nursing

    You can take the NCLEX anywhere, you just have to register/get licensed with your specific state licensing office. I'd use it for an excuse to travel to Alaska, but then again, that might not be...

  15. Paramedical Examiner

    Noimanurse replied to Sacricolist's topic in General Nursing

    Noimanurse replied to spartydrew's topic in Men in Nursing

    Noimanurse replied to jdsp87's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear
